NUCLEAR REGULATORY COMMISSION

10 CFR Part 35

[Docket No. PRM-35-14]


IsoStent, Inc.; Withdrawal of Petition for Rulemaking

AGENCY: Nuclear Regulatory Commission.

ACTION: Petition for rulemaking: Withdrawal.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is withdrawing, at the 
petitioner's request, a petition for rulemaking (PRM-35-14) filed by 
IsoStent, Inc. By a letter dated May 9, 1996, the petitioner requested 
that the NRC amend its regulations by adding a new section to address 
permanently implanted intraluminal stents, including phosphorus-32 and 
strontium-89 radioisotope stents. The petitioner also requested that 
the NRC add a new section to specify training and experience 
requirements for qualified physicians responsible for placing 
radioisotope stents in patients. The NRC published a Federal Register 
notice on June 27, 1996 (61 FR 33388) announcing receipt of the 
petition. Recently, in another letter dated October 24, 1996, the 
petitioner requested that the petition be withdrawn based on public 
comments received by the NRC on this petition, and other information.

ADDRESSES: A copy of the petitioner's letter requesting the withdrawal 
of the petition is available for public inspection, or copying for a 
fee, at the NRC Public Document Room, 2120 L Street, NW. (Lower Level), 
Washington, DC.
    Single copies of the petitioner's letter may be obtained free of 
charge by writing to the Division of Freedom of Information and 
Publications Services, Office of Administration, U.S. Nuclear 
Regulatory Commission, Washington, DC 20555-0001.
